Résumé

For introductory courses in Computer Graphics.

The importance of computer graphics is spreading beyond the computer science discipline and graphics experts. This new introduction to computer graphics is perfect for any school that does not focus strictly on developing graduate students in the field. Unlike "algorithms and techniques" texts, it offers a good introduction to graphics for any program with interdisciplinary links to the sciences or for any computational science program - focusing on science as a unifying concept that students can use to express the graphics they are learning. With the use of an excellent graphics API such as OpenGL, students can bypass many of the details of the algorithms and create effective images early in the course.
